Animoto

My first attempt at Animoto - I used a selection of pictures from different learning tasks and school adventures to share some of the ways students learn and create at TPS.

I look forward to getting to know the app more and utilising some more features.

MindMup the latest app recommendation

EPIC Rap Battles of Tagata o le Moana! on MindMup

This MindMup shows the structure of a movie Mr Wong and I are aiming to make for the upcoming Manaiakalani Film Festival. I love how mind maps allow me to bullet point my thoughts around a central idea. This map will be used to stimulate discussion and direct further research into our movie topics.

I definitely recommend this free, simple and easy to use app. 

Check out this article discussing the idea of Digital Natives and the expectations on them in terms of privacy and consequences of having an online presence.

Privacy in the Age of the Internet

"So kids spend a lot of time thinking about being private from parents, teachers and bullies, but totally overestimate how private they’ll be from future employers, their government, and police. And alas, by the time they figure it out, it’s too late."

Quicktime example of digital learning

Here is an example of the type of digital learning 

that takes place in Room 7. 

It is also an example of my first try at using 

Quicktime to create a mini movie.
